ALCOHOL MAY PROTECT AGAINST RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS

A recent study published in the Annals of Rheumatoid Diseases
suggests that alcohol may protect against rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
Analysis of data from1,666 patients in Finland suggests that alcohol
use either protects against RA or that patients with RA curtail
their drinking after developing the disease. For a number of reasons,
the authors suggest that it is more plausible that alcohol protects
against RA.
